What is recorded here
The OS Letters describe the remains of a church which was formerly accessible from Kilnamanagh Castle (DU022-050001-) (Herity 2002, 31-2). This church was associated with a disused graveyard (DU022-005003-) which according to the Letters was enclosed by a wide and deep fosse which had a drawbridge (O'Flanagan 1927, 34). This is thought to be the site of the early monastery of Cell Manach Eascrach (Ua Broin 1944, 194-195; Ball 1905, 3, 20-1; Handcock 1991, 66-67, 2nd ed). The area has been developed leaving no visible surface remains.
